Description

Travel to the Highlands the easy way with a scheduled 4-hour bus transfer to Thorsmork from Reykjavik. Designed for hikers and nature lovers, this service takes you far into the remote valley with professional drivers and powerful buses built for Iceland’s toughest F-roads.

Operating from June to October, this Thorsmork bus transfer provides a reliable way to access Iceland’s Highlands. The remote mountain F-roads can only be traveled in summer, since deep river crossings and rough terrain become unsafe in winter.

Begin your hiking adventure in Iceland without the stress of planning transportation or navigating mountain roads. Instead of renting a super jeep, you’ll travel in a specialized 4x4 Highland bus. These high-clearance vehicles are built for rugged terrain that ordinary cars cannot navigate.

All drivers are experienced professionals with deep knowledge of Iceland’s F-roads. Their expertise ensures a safe and steady journey into Thorsmork, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Your day begins with a 6:30 AM pickup from designated Reykjavik bus stops, allowing enough time to reach the highlands. Step aboard a modern bus with air conditioning, reclining seats, and large windows. Watch Iceland’s lava fields, rivers, and moss-covered landscapes pass by, feeling the anticipation build as you approach the Highlands.

The route includes 15-minute stops in Hella and Hvolsvollur, giving you time to stretch, pick up snacks, and prepare your hiking gear. These pauses break up the morning smoothly without adding unnecessary delays.

After 4 hours, you’ll arrive in Thorsmork, a breathtaking valley of jagged peaks, braided glacial streams, and sweeping black-sand landscapes. This summer oasis is the perfect escape for travelers seeking untouched nature and a peaceful break from the crowds.

The valley also serves as a gateway for hiking enthusiasts. Thorsmork is the start or finish point for the multi-day Laugavegur trek to Landmannalaugar and the Fimmvorduhals trail to Skogar. Well-marked paths cater to all levels, from short scenic walks to full-day hikes, making it accessible even for beginners.

Skip the stress of driving and enjoy a comfortable journey with this Highland bus transfer to Thorsmork from Reykjavik. Check availability now by choosing a date.
